Hawaii SB1513 prohibits the transfer of funds between positions and operating expenses unless it fulfills the legislature's appropriation purpose.

Hawaii SB1513 aims to ensure funds are used for their intended purpose by prohibiting the transfer of funds appropriated for positions to operating expenses and vice versa, except to fulfill the legislature's purpose. The bill responds to a high vacancy rate in public employment positions and the transfer of funds for unintended purposes. The Act amends Chapter 37, Hawaii Revised Statutes, to add a new section prohibiting such transfers unless they align with the legislature's appropriation purpose. This Act takes effect upon approval.
